[PATCH 3/9] rtla/tests: Check -c/--cpus thread affinity
From: Tomas Glozar
Date: Thu Apr 23 2026 - 09:09:58 EST
RTLA runtime tests verify the -c/--cpus options, but do not check
whether the correct affinity is actually applied.
Add a script named check-cpus.sh that retrieves the affinity of all
workload threads and use it to check the -c/--cpus option for both
osnoise and timerlat tools.
Also add missing -c/--cpus test for osnoise.
